MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVgItBER 9, 1994 property owners. Morelan suggested that a letter be sent to the property owners to determine their feelings on the improvement, and whether or not they would be willing to participate in the cost. The Administrator suggested that if a survey is to be sent to the property owners, that he have the City Engineer put together some firmer numbers and break down the cost on a per lot basis. The property owners could also be asked which option they prefer given the cost involved. LaValle suggested that the Engineer also obtain prices for terracing the area with timbers. LaValle felt that the cost of a keystone wall system seemed too hiqh. Desai reported that he has given a copy of his letter to about half of the Dianna Lane property owners. Desai reported that it was his sense that most of the property owners were interested in a wall system, and there is concern about the safety of the existing wall. Desai stated that he pays for improvements done on his property and feels that the City should pay for improvements on their property. Scalze stated that she felt a keystone wall system with a chain-link fence on top of it would be ugly. Therefore, she preferred a natural sloped area. However, the neighborhood may have a different opinion on the matter. Desai suggested that the Dianna Lane property owners be asked which option they prefer. Pedersen suggested that the City pay for whatever improvement option costs the least amount of money. If the Dianna Lane property owners prefer another option, they should pay the additional cost. Desai pointed out that there are only about four homes in reasonable proximity to the entrance area. Desai felt that the type of improvement that would be done was a decision that the City Council must make. Hanson stated that the City must eliminate the safety problem which exists solely on City property. 14
